  1. A few Basschatters got together for a mini-bass bash today. It was fun. Here's some of what was there, starting with Howard the Bass Doc's iconic 1963 Precision.
  2. Give them a good rub with a cotton t-shirt to tone down a lot of the initial clank.
  3. One thing I've noticed with the 'new' WB-100 is that it's a lot cleaner than the old one. The old one had massive headroom, but the new one seems to barely break a sweat, certainly not in the bands I'm playing with at the moment. Clean all the way.
  4. A little bit of WB100 from my semi-regular(sic) dep at the weekend. What you're mostly hearing is backline, with a little bit of FOH mixed in.
  5. Jesus.. he’s managed to get another hour out of it. Can someone tl:dr it for me, please?
  6. I’ve asked a function band he was working with a while ago, but heard nowt back yet.
  7. Hmm... the original is more about majesty than groove. It's marvellous. And Sally Oldfield's 'annoyingly folky' vocals are intended to be more choir soloist than folk, I think. The live one above misses the point completely IMO.
  8. I've always REALLY disliked this version. The drums kill it (not in a good way).
  9. FWIW, if anyone is interested in this amazing head and fancies a change from the orange look, I have spare white and red frames that I'd be happy to send out for the price of the postage. (As you'd expect from Handbox, they're proper hefty steel). This style, but white or red. GLWTS, SFN!
  10. It is. I’m seeing the owner tomorrow, as it happens. Don’t think it’s going anywhere for a while..!
  11. I suspect she didn’t post the vid to try and get a gig with a function band.
  12. After seeing the recent ‘Too Shy’ video, I had this discussion with some pals. Loads of stuff was dismissed my my peers and I back in the day for being ‘too poppy’. Imagine if pop music was as good as that today?
  13. One of my favourite Croz tunes. Listen to Phil Lesh's bass...
  14. Don't bother with posh basses. Save yourself some cash and just get a Wal instead.
  15. Reason one: It's to keep the zero-attention-span kids of 2023 interested. Reson two: It's less labour-intensive to do hard cuts like that, than meticulously pore over each edit to make is as silky as possible.
  16. Why has he mixed it so it sounds like he's performing at the far end of a network of caves?
  17. Yeah, I can see why it’s relatively straightforward in your case.
  18. Problem is, you could provide a list of dates to your band for which you’re technically available… but what If you don’t want to gig three nights every weekend? That’s where the dep comes in handy. You can work it out with them to get a night off every now and then.
